BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention

The technical field relates to an electronic mirror screen, in particular, to an electronic mirror screen with a light filling structure.

Description of Related Art

An electronic mirror screen is a digitized electronic mirror, and it mainly utilizes a camera lens to capture images of a human body, followed by presenting on the screen via mirror reflection method, in order to achieve the effect of allowing the user to view his or her face from the screen in a way similar to viewing from a mirror. However, to provide sufficient luminance in the environment to allow the camera to capture images, light source can be installed on the electronic mirror screen and the principle of reflection of light can be used. Consequently, when the light source is shone onto the face of a user, it is able to achieve the auxiliary lighting effect on the face, thereby facilitating the camera lens to capture the facial images.

Nevertheless, as the function and design of electronic mirror screens become diverse, when an electronic mirror screen is designed to have a moving structure for collapsing and deployment etc., the light source located on the electronic mirror screen moves along with the moving direction of the structure, such that the light projection location from the light source is also changed. Under the condition where the face of a user remains stationary, light from the light source after the movement cannot be ensured to be projected onto the face of the user. Consequently, the light filling effect lacks uniformity, and the image presented on the screen is also affected at the same time.

In view of above, the inventor seeks to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks associated with the currently existing technology after years of research and development along with the utilization of academic theories, which is also the objective of the development of the present invention.

The following provides a detailed technical content of the present invention along with the accompanied drawings. However, the accompanied drawings are provided for reference and illustrative purpose only such that they shall not be used to limit the scope of the present invention.

The present invention provides an electronic monitor screen with a light filling structure, capable of maintaining a uniform luminance of the light source and light filling projected onto a user's face under different states of use, such as collapsing and deployment, of the electronic mirror screen. Please refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3. The electronic mirror screen comprises a first mirror screen main body 1, a second mirror screen main body 2 and a linkage mechanism 3.

The first mirror screen main body 1 includes a first moving portion 10 and a first light emitting portion 11 arranged at one side of the first moving portion 10. The first moving portion 10 can be a display screen, and it can be a display for independent imaging, or it can use, such as a camera lens, to film facial images for further displaying on said display screen. The first light emitting portion 11 can be a slot structure, and it includes a first light source 110 and a fixed light guiding plate 111 installed therein. The first light source 110 can be a circuit board structure comprising a circuit board and light emitting diodes, and it can be arranged opposite from the fixed light guiding plate 111 in order to project the light generated onto the fixed light guiding plate 111, Then, the fixed light guiding plate 111 is able to produce uniform lighting for light filling through the first light transmissive plate 12 covered on the first light emitting portion 11.

The second mirror screen main body 2 includes a second moving portion 20 configured to be received in and attached to the aforementioned first moving portion 10. The second moving portion 20 can include a mirror, and it also includes a receiving space 200 formed therein in order to laterally receive the first moving portion 10 therein, such that the first moving portion 10 can be collapsibly received inside the receiving space 200 (as shown in FIG. 2), and the mirror of the second moving portion 20 is able to shield a front portion of the display screen of the first moving portion 10. In addition, the second moving portion 20 includes a second light emitting portion 21 arranged at one side of the second moving portion 20, and the first and second light emitting portions 11, 21 are located at two opposite sides of the first and second moving portions 10, 20 away from each other. Furthermore, the second light emitting portion 21 can also be a slot structure, and it includes a second light source 210 installed therein. The second light source 210 can also be a circuit board structure comprising a circuit board and light emitting diodes, and the second light emitting portion includes a second light transmissive plate 22 covered thereon.

The linkage mechanism 3 is arranged between the aforementioned first and second moving portions 10, 20, and is located at one side of the receiving space 200. As shown in FIG. 3, the linkage mechanism 3 comprises a movable light guiding plate 30 and a linkage assembly 31 driving the movable light guiding plate 30 to perform rotation. The movable light guiding plate 30 is arranged inside the aforementioned second light emitting portion 21 and is arranged opposite from the second light source 210, in order to project the light generated by the second light source 210 onto the movable light guiding plate 30, following which once the movable light guiding plate 30 produces uniform lighting for light filling through the second light transmissive plate 22.

Please refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4. The present invention mainly uses the linkage assembly 31 of the aforementioned linkage mechanism 3 to drive the movable light guiding plate 30 in order to achieve automatic angle adjustment of the movable light guiding plate 30 when the first and second mirror screen main bodies 1, 2 move relative to each other, such that the light projected from the second light source 210 can be maintained at the position directed to the user's face, thereby maintaining light projection on the user's face without affecting the light filling effect. The linkage assembly 31 includes a first connecting rod 310 movably connected to the first moving portion 10 and a second connecting rod 311 configured to drive the first connecting rod 310 to move, and the second connecting rod 311 is pivotally attached onto the movable light guiding plate 30. The movable light guiding plate 30 may include a light guiding surface 300 and a supporting surface 301 for supporting the light guiding surface 300. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the first moving portion 100 includes a first sliding track 100 formed thereon, and the first connecting rod 310 includes a first sliding portion 310 a formed thereon and configured to slide inside the first sliding track 100. In addition, the first connecting rod 310 can also be connected to the second moving portion 20 via a second sliding portion 310 b, such that through the sliding between the first and second moving portions 10, 20, the swinging movement of the first connecting rod 310 is able to drive the second connecting rod 311 in order to adjust the movable light guiding plate 30 to perform rotation, thereby maintaining the position of light projection onto the user's face.

In view of the above, with the aforementioned structure and assembly, an electronic mirror screen with a light filling structure of the present invention can be achieved.

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5, when the aforementioned first and second mirror screen main bodies 1, 2 are collapsed, the fixed light guiding plate 11 and the movable light guiding plate 30 are designed to be at proper angle and position for projecting the light from the first and second light sources 110, 210 onto the user's face, as shown in FIG. 8. The light 110 a, 210 a respectively projected from the first and second light sources 110, 210 is directed onto the user's face for light filling. At the beginning of the use of the first and second mirror screen main bodies 1, 2, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the first connecting rod 310 of the linkage assembly 31 is able to swing between the first and second moving portions 10, 20, such that it is able to drive the second connecting rod 311 to move and to further drive the movable light guiding plate 30 to move inward, such that the light projection angle of the light projected from the second light source 210 is also changed due to the adjustment of the movable light guiding plate 30, as shown in FIG. 9. When the second mirror screen main body 2 is deployed and being pulled outward, in a conventional design, the light 210 a projected from the second light source 210 would also move away from the user's face; however, with the design of the aforementioned linkage assembly 31 in the present invention, the movable light guiding plate 300 can be adjusted correspondingly in such a way that during the process in which the second mirror screen main body 2 is being pulled outward, the movable light guiding plate 30 is adjusted to allow the light 210 a projected from the second light source 210 to be maintained at the position directed to the user's face, thereby preventing any loss of light filling effect.

In view of the above, the present invention is a novel design capable of achieving the objectives of the present invention and overcoming the drawbacks of known arts. The present invention is novel and of inventive step, which satisfies the patentability requirements.

The above describes the preferable and feasible exemplary embodiments of the present invention for illustrative purposes only, which shall not be treated as limitations of the scope of the present invention.
